Dolf a déclaré : "It's going really well considering that we've been on the road for two years and had no time to write or rehearse.

We've got eight songs written. It's a pretty much a rock and roll record but there's going to be songs on the new record that are actually older than the ones on the first album. We're ready to try out some of the old songs that we maybe didn't think worked live so we'll try and work on those in the studio."

Darkness a déposé un message pour ses fans sur son site officiel : "It's the first time we've ever had to pull a show and nobody could be more disappointed than me.

I've often felt a little hoarse of a morning, but usually my hour-long pre-show warm-up blows away the cobwebs. Yesterday was different, and I didn't realise how serious the problem was until around 8.30pm when my voice disappeared altogether.

A doctor was called and the first thing he noticed was that one of my glands was swollen, and arranged for me to see Liverpool's finest ENT consultant immediately, so I was driven to the hospital.

Liverpool's finest ENT consultant found that I have laryngitis AND an infection in my voicebox, I have swollen vocal chords and a troublesome node which is (worryingly) causing mischief.

If it were as simple as a sore throat, the ENT consultant could have administered an injection to reduce the swelling and the show would have gone ahead, but sadly that could not happen last night.

I'm really sorry that the cancellation could not be announced earlier, but the injection possibility was not ruled out until well beyond our scheduled stage time. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me."
